I’m glad to hear what people’s favourite songs are. My favourite is Reasons, because of his little giggle in this video when he sings it.
Always! ❤ Still have the original Whispering Jack vinyl I purchased 38 years ago stashed away!!! 😂 I still know every lyric of every single song of that album by heart! ❤
My late wife and I saw John Farnham in New Jersey when he was on tour in the US with The Little River Band. They were the main show at a theme park and were doing two shows that day. We went to the first one and they were so wonderful we stayed and went to the second show. The Little River Band with John Farnham was a force to be reckoned with. It is too bad Capitol Records did not give them the support they should have. Everyone that got to see them loved them and John in particular and they were lifelong fans ever after. It worked out for John in the long run because talent like that just can't be held back. My prayers are with him as he currently recovers from health issues.
What a freakin Voice!! ... Simply Awesomeness. Compared to to the utter crap today, John Farnham is in a completely different Universe Vocally.
Amazing concert!!!John is full of energy at 38 years of age, best Australian Male Singer ever our King of Pop!!!! His voice is a naturally gifted talent. John never had singing lessons and isn't from a musical background he chose music instead of being a plumber a remarkable epic legendary entertainer a Superstar!!! John now 74 is recovering from mouth cancer, fingers crossed his voice is still intact!! Mr Nice Guy of Australian music ❤Forever a Fan❤wishing you a speedy recovery John ❤❤❤
John's father's family are I believe natural musicians. He has talked about his uncle's harmonizing, and his grandfather being a natural entertainer, and self taught musician.
What an incredible performer. Everything that was good about Australia before communism. When John does an encore ,he does it right Best i have ever seen.
Love John so much. Have been to all his concerts in Sydney & met him backstage at this concert. He is a beautiful, caring & gentle man. Sending him & his gorgeous family much love while he is recovering from his surgery. Love you guys xxxx.
Just love John Farnham so much! His amazing voice, his gorgeous smile, his kind, friendly nature and the way he interacts with his audience in such a natural way. I especially love the way he exudes joy from every cell of his body while singing on stage ♥️🌹
I've always said THAT guitar solo in Let Me Out is simply mesmerising. Brett Garsed is undoubtedly one of the best Australian rock guitarists on the planet!
@adrianrickards27
Yes, Adrian l totally agree, l have been watching Brett Garsed since l think 1985 he joined the John Farnham band. Brett had apparently sent his demos to many recording studios, but, then struck gold when he forwarded a copy to Glenn Wheatley, John’s Friend and manager, who being a bass player himself, from the Masters Apprentices and knowing a great musician when he heard him play, as did John, soon thereafter , and the rest is excellent history. You, may know a guitarist of Brett’s calibre was soon off to America 🇺🇸, and working with Nelson, and working and teaching at MIT America 🇺🇸. I was taught to play guitar years ago in Ringwood, Victoria as a young teenager, by the one and only Phil Buckle who has written songs for John Farnham, Burn For You, and others, he teemed up with Jack Jones and they were Southern Sons, often Phil and Jack would play and record with John Farnham’s band. But, yes, l agree, Adrian, Brett Garsed is one of our finest , kind regards, Mark 🎸 🎼 🎶 👍 🇦🇺
There were and sill are great guitarists who went without acknowledging. Ever heard of Stephen James?
Dime a dozen
He's top 5 in the world...everyone knows it...😊
Brett Garsed is one of the greatest drummers. John gave him one of the greatest opportunities in the world. Who better to play the guitar for. All the best Brett.
After watching John Farnham finding the voice it makes me appreciate & love this man even more, what an amazing humble person John is & that powerful voice is unbelievable, an Australian icon & he is very much loved by us all. I will never stop listening to him & I'm so glad he found his happiness after so long, he had his voice but the world needed to hear it & finally did. Love John Farnham ❤️
...really good audio for an VHS-Tape conversion.. Many thanks for this...
Yeah the sound is awesome. Tape must of been is really good condition.
The angelic voice of MULTIPLE generations!
Fully Farnham, once again another big thank you for another trip down memory lane. JF is the best. ❤️
My first ever concert was as a 10 year old to see John and Whispering Jack in concert. I was instantly hooked! Now, as an almost 47 year old, he still holds a special place in my heart. Thanks for posting this and bringing back some awesome memories ❤️
Hmmm.
I'm 82 yrs and still enjoying him.
I absolutely love John. I always have and I always will.
I have been to all of John's concerts. Just can't get enough of him
Wish I could go back and stay in the 80's. So much better times all round. Miss it dearly a time when life was simpler .
Fully agree!
TH-cam reactions are off the charts for anything Farnham atm….took them long enough!
Well deserved👌
Finally!! About time the world appreciated him!
He is just without doubt the most amazing singer in the world...i remember him coming to burnie tasmania as johnny farnham 25-30 people showed up i $10.50 to see him i felt he was incredible then he came to rocky cape out side wynyard tasmania he was john farnham then and he was just amazing and i have seen him 9 times in concert and he never disappoints and i can tell you from my $10.50 tickets is my prize possession ❤ love to john his family i would love to think we will hear him sing again 😊
Touch of Paradise an absolute classic, takes me right back to 1986 but timeless all the same! His version of When the War is Over is amazing!!!!
Wow! Thank goodness this concert was filmed 🙏😊 i wish i had been there. I just love John Farnham ❤, a beautiful man with the voice of an Angel 🌏🪐🌕🦋😎🇦🇺🤗🌟🐞🐝🦉🏡🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I can still remember mum buying Whispering Jack on cassette at the Southern Cross petrol station, as we were leaving to drive to Kalgoorlie.
It was the first time I heard Johnny, and I've been in love with his music & voice ever since.
I'm now in my early 40s, and it brings back fantastic memories of my childhood. 💕
Because of this concert John has made it into my top five. What an amazing voice, an amazing concert. Just enjoyment every listen.
Went to this concert in Tassie as a 11 year old first concert, never forgot it and the way the bass drum thumped in my chest. Angus was a killer drummer. Love you John, so did my dad. ✌
My happy place this concert, watched the VHS every day for 10 years as a kid
Me too ❤️
Me too
This exact concert was shown on Danish television back in the day and I loved every second of it (still do) - Thank you SO much for bringing it all back
OMG John!! Your vocals are always on point.. love you so much1
You can tell he was loving every moment of this concert. Amazing talent, his joy was contagious. Not sure who was managing his clothing, woeful.
Fashion of the day.

Small price to pay for the talent of the 90s 😂
@@alexismichael3386 it was the 80s lol
Wayne Nelson on bass. Say what you like he's a great player and singer.
Just adore him❤
We’ve been starved of JF so this Concert was fabulous. ❤❤❤❤
I didn't realise how many songs I knew from Whispering Jack until I watched this so thank you for the AMAZING memories xx
Fantastic to be able to see this again..thanks for posting. Brilliant.
Boomer Zoomers / Gen X what a time of our lives. We will leave this earth blessed growing up with John Farnham and Elvis and countless talents. We were spoilt.
I've seen John Farnham quite a few times over many years going back to the 70's and he always puts on such a good show. He's a great performer and what a voice! The success of the Whispering Jack album was well deserved. THanks very much for this upload, it brought back some great memories and I thoroughly enjoyed it :)
l E G E N D I was a kid going on holidays with parents in car I was 5 or so and I remeber listening to his song and I remeber where I was thats a good test of whether a soing is good or not
The best Australian singer ever the voice without a doubt
You boy had so much talent and charisma , you are a lithe older but I have watched your career from day one
I am sending you good healing vibes as you come out of surgery .
You are a huge part of my party days
My love , my prayers and I know every one of your songs
Be brave be strong . Mez
This will always remind me of a wonderful husband I had, and did not appreciate enough. I ended up hurting him so badly, and I will regret it for the rest of my life. So to Gary Matthews, I told you recently and will always mean it, how sorry I am, and that you never deserved the hurt. I am forever sorry and wish you happiness always. Thank you for not hating me and for your forgiveness.
reach out to him Karen,
Bless xx
Thank you so MUCH John for giving us this great memoir, live concert. BRILLIANT!! 4.2021. xx Love from a Kiwi fan from way back! I was lead here after searching your Age Of Reason...Also brilliant, and even more profound in Covid 2021.
You Aussies can have our 'Pavalova' ..........IF, we can have your Johnny Farnham, Olivia Newton-John, Crocodile Dundee 1, and you can throw in the Sydney Opera House!! Its a DEAL!! Us Kiwi's would be OK with that!
This is the holy grale of Singers. One of the best male Singer in the World. He should have been more notised world wide. To bad.
Epic concert. Brett Garsed best guitarist ever.
May I say that John has come a long way even from this concert & he is still the voice til today. He never retired after the last time it was just the name of the song. He has performed many times since then & may he continue to grace us with his great talent for as long as he can. Love u John.
Still good but as good. Nah but can't hold it against him been 30+ years since this concert A) if you can sing like this ever well done B) If you can sing like this at 70 not possible. Doesn't siing Help or When The War Is Over anymore or the real big note in You're The Voice. Progression of life. How many singers can sing as well at 70 as they did at 30? Nobody. Not The Voice anymore but he's still pretty bloody good.
His singing from his last concert was analized, and he was singing in the same key a few notes were not always held as long, but most were.@@claytonhill6429
Awesomeness right there!!! what a Voice🎶♥️👌
Holy heck I haven’t seen this in yonks! We had it back then and i thrashed it, had such a crush. Great singer, good memories. Thanks so much for sharing.
My musical/intellectual crush was David Hischfelder who was so key to the way all of this sounded. I can usually still pick his arrangements or compositions out. This was an amazing team for the amazing voice and performing talent of JF. Glad to have found this.
Just the best ever
Johnny is The Voice of Australia our Whispering Jack
What a great preveldge knowing and having Mr John Farnham our Aussie . Thank you and your lovely friends and family, god bless 🙌 🙏 😊
Just spotted this. Fantastic. Thanks for he upload. Had recorded it off tv on VHS back in the ‘80s and absolutely thrashed it. Haven’t seen it in years….
I believe his best years were from 1983 to 1994. What an amazing performer/voice. Gave each of his performances everything he had. Always smiling, very uplifting.
Your the voice is needed now more than ever! Listen to the lyrics people!!!!!!!
Whispering Jack, released in October, became the highest-selling album by an Australian act in Australia, and peaked at No. 1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Album Charts for a total of 25 weeks. As of 2006, it was 24x platinum indicating sales of over 1.68 million units in Australia alone. The album was released internationally on RCA/BMG and peaked at No. 1 in Sweden, No. 3 in Austria, and Top 20 in Norway. In August 1988 it returned to the Australian Top Ten. Other Australian singles were December's "Pressure Down", which peaked at No. 4, March 1987's "Touch of Paradise" and October's "Reasons".
Farnham followed with Jack's Back Tour, an initial itinerary of eleven performances was thought to be enough considering they were up against tours by Michael Jackson and Billy Joel, but after high ticket sales, it was extended by eight more shows and use of larger venues. At that time, Jack's Back Tour was the highest grossing tour by an Australian act. John Farnham Band now consisted of Garsed on lead guitar, David Hirschfelder on keyboards (ex-Little River Band), Macainsh on bass and Angus Burchill on drums. Farnham won six of the inaugural 1987 Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) Awards for 'Album of the Year', 'Single of the Year', 'Highest Selling Album', 'Highest Selling Single', 'Best Male Artist' and 'Best Adult Contemporary Album'. On 19 July 1987, TV series Countdown broadcast its last show, the 1986 Countdown Music and Video Awards with Farnham winning the 'Best Album Award' for Whispering Jack.
Oh I remember those days, I worked for BMG (Ariola/RCA) in Netherlands at the time and remember a number of execs and me incl. went to see him play in Germany/Dusseldorf in Oct 1988 (Age of Reason tour) and meet him afterwards. It was so totally awesome!! I loved his vocals in LRB before the Whispering Jack success came in his solo career and I've been a fan of his phenomenal voice ever since.
& the icing on the cake........ Australian Of The Year...
Irene, the folks at BMG were are a great bunch,especially the staff at the Strathfield office (circa 1988) before they were relocated.... One of my most treasured items is a limited edition whispering jack cd made from Kalgoorlie gold,gifted to me by a generous lady customer of my family's take away shop..... not to mention two ticket to the age of reason concert with the Melb symphony orchestra.... awesome memories
Can you please msg me again Brandon? Change of phones.
Exactly! 1987 Australian of the Year needs to be remembered.
Cannot thank you enough for uploading this! I had it on a poor VHS dub back in the day, and the omission of Paper Paradise and other tracks in the modern releases just ruins the whole thing. Much love from Melbourne.
this entire uncut performance on DVD,that's what we want
has gotta be equal to the best I've ever seen or heard, thank you John and group, who make so special that I've listened to it so many times, sometimes to my detriment really. Cheers
❤❤❤👏👏👏❤❤❤
Holy smoke what a voice.I only know his song PLS DINT ASK ME IN FACT ONE OF MY BEST/MOST FAVORITE SONG OF ALL TIMES!GOD BLESS SIR!!!
Australian music 🎶 icon , lagand , John Farnham 💓🎄❤️♥️✋️🙏😊🎶
What an Aussie legend
When you listen to a studio album, you have to remember that it’s take after take and mixed and engineered to get it right. If you ever want to know how good an artist is, you watch/listen to live performances. It’s a one shot deal. John is part of a club whereby they actually sound better when it’s live and raw. Many, many so called performers have been caught lip syncing because they cannot sing without technology. This was the first live gig I saw. I was 8. I wasn’t at the gig but I saw it on telly. It greatly impacted me and I have been to so many live gigs. From the streets to pubs. From clubs to arenas. Live renditions are always my go to. Outstanding job by John and his band. Proud to be an Aussie! 🇦🇺
The solo at 23:00 Let me out. One of my favorite parts of the album.
Loved this concert and recorded it on VHS back in the day. Watched it many times, great to see it again! Thanks for uploading !
this album is pure Magic !!! def great voice tears in my eye´s
Amazing Grace ,the three of them sound so awesomeeeee
My folks taped this off the TV. Don’t know what channel it was on. Watched it all the time as a kid. Amazing show!
Likely Channel 7
📢 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝑩𝒂𝒏𝒅 👍👍
Never heard of this dude before and I love old music. I think you have to be from Australia to know this dude. I also just found out the Little River Band is Australian, very interesting.
Yes a big shit fight over the rights of The Little River Band, the original members are not allowed too even tour under the name, but if you type in Bertles, Sharrock and Goble you will see and hear 3 of the original members doing there thing. Brings back great memories
Ex member Wayne Nelson had. a “ Little River Band “ touring the USA for a while but not sure who is in the band now or if they are still touring.
@@vaughanruffels216 90% sure it’s still Wayne Nelson’s version of LRB with lots of changes….. at least that’s what I heard
Surprised he had time to do this and Chain reaction tours 😂
John was in Graeme Gobles LRB, with Wayne and David hirschfelder, and Steve from Cold Chisel
That bands had so many line up changes it’s not even a shadow of what it was 🤦🏼♀️
he was my mums fave artist sadly we lost her to cancer in 2013 but this music was her inspiration for her love for life thankyou john for the great music and talent us aussies have had for years
To think he was never professionally taught how to sing.
And your point?
@@JasDarc he is brilliant. One of the best
True. Self taught.
He sang with Celine Dion in Melbourne a true Aussie legend
Prolly blew away Celine.
Timeless spine tingling music love him
How amazing is this man? It's so awesome to see a man make such a sensational comment.
If you have Facebook Andrew Coursaris then Brandon Beard and I have a group called
John Farnham is....The Voice, The Man, The Legend.
Would love you to come and join us.
This message also applies to anyone that reads this, you're all welcome.
The only thing we ask for is that you are an honest fan of John's because we NEVER accept any Negativity toward him.
Australian singer John Farnham will plays his album Whispering Jack in full at a series of A Day on the Green concerts at wineries across the country.
Whispering Jack is the highest-selling Australian record of all time, and the second highest overall behind only Meatloaf’s A Bat Out of Hell. It sat at the top of the Australian charts for 25 weeks, going 24 times platinum. It was also the first Australian album to be manufactured on CD.
The album includes massive hit You’re the Voice, a song that every single Australian other than Malcolm Turnbull knows the words to. Farnham last toured the album in 2011 to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
John Farnham retired in 2002 only to return two years later for a tour with Tom Jones, and has embarked on several comeback tours since. Which is fair enough, because after all, we ‘gotta make ends meet, before we get much older.
Farnham will be supported on the tour by fellow Australian musical icons Daryl Braithwaite and Russell Morris, Grammy Award winner Richard Marx, and ’90s pop-band Bachelor Girl, who are reforming for a 20th-anniversary tour.
General-public tickets go on sale Friday July 13 2018 at 10am.
Fully Farnham takes issue with the notion that Mr Farnham “retired” 🤓
Fully Farnham Ha Ha at 69 his doing 2 tours this year next month he starts his Expo Liaison national tour and Whispering Jack Live in November/December. Jack is definitely back oh wait he never really left. 😃😄😅😉
Do you know if Richard Marx is joining John Farnham at his concert at the National Arboretum, Canberra in November 2018?
I saw this concert tour - was such a buzz - such a lovely man and a great entertainer.
Greetings from EBDEN...thankyou sooo much ..I am grateful..GOD BLESS
Paper Paradise is one of John's last songs with Little River Band, off the album No Reins.
I love it, very nice and different but sound fantastic 💓🎄❤️♥️✋️✋️😊😊
I never got to see John Farnham in concert, but am glad I can see him now. I first heard him sing the song ,Sadie the Cleaning Lady and both my Mum and I became fans. We knew he had a great career ahead of him. Whispering Jack is a great album.
Just brilliant. Thankyou.
Great uploaded yes its a noticeable difference in quality than your previous version good work.
👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐👏⭐
What an awesome voice he has.
Hello from Cd. Obregón, México. 😊
great concert.

Awesomeness 👏🏻😀

CHOPS.

No autotune with John Farnham, simply brilliant!!
Graetest singer on Earth!!
Pretty much sums it up!!👍😀👏🏻
Hi there Mamma Farnum.
@@IlluminovaNibiru 😂👍
thanks for this!!!!!!!
I so wish this computer would turn up a lot louder on my all time favourite song. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
Just sayin!!
Elizabeth Hose my son bought me new louder speakers YAY. No wonder at 65 my hearing isn’t the best anymore 🥴😁.
Also, listening to this as I type, I love head phones on listening to
John, the music fills your whole mind body and soul, (yes I’m typing to the beat of the music atm lol)
I have to close the blinds too as I have to walk around the house doing chores to the beat of him singing and the music, the neighbours would wonder why I’m moving around the house like a loony lol 😂
Funny how now, the glasshouse is Collingwood’s training facility.
My very first concert at 10 years old 🥰🥰
This is so nostalgic....But a bit disingenuous though… Not really the Whispering Jack live concert at all but a mash of concerts from that time. Should have mashed in the the performances with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra too! I was 16 when Whispering Jack burst onto the charts…. I had always loved John and had followed his career, especially during the LRB days, but the moment, the very first time I heard “You’re The Voice”, I knew the song and the album was going to be absolutely phenomenal! 38 years later I still remember every single lyric of every single song on the album! I played that album pretty much non stop for 2+ years….❤ John is a national icon and will always be loved and cherished by us Aussies. He is humble, funny and just so damned down to earth. A man that has always been proud of being an Aussie, despite being born in England, a man we all adore. A man who gave up the chance of international stardom, to stay true to who he was and to stay with his family. ❤ Still have the original vinyl of this album stashed away, pretty worn out from all those years of playing it. 😅 Yes, back in the day it was all about vinyl and cassettes! 😂 I was never a cassette person, vinyl was always the preference. Pity it’s all digital these days…just doesn’t have the same sound. 😢 Much as I love John taking on “When The War Is Over”, this will always be a Chisel song for me…but the version of John singing this with Jimmy was epic!!!! On another note… guess this performance was before Lisa joined John as a backup singer…only Venetta and Lindsay in this concert. Talk about loyalty.. those 3 have always been behind John, just can’t imagine John without them. John has always treated his backup vocalists and band as family….not many artists do that….certainly not in modern times!!! I love the version of John, Venetta and Lindsay singing Amazing Grace so much that I played it at my Dads funeral last year. ❤ So damned sad that we will probably never hear John sing live again…..😢 Cancer is a bitch!!!
Love that John did “One”…such an awesomely different take on his original, much different from the laid back version he recorded in the 60’s whilst being the “good boy”. If John had performed One in this way back then he would have been outcast! 😂 Love that he also included some of his songs from his LRB days.
You’re The Voice is a song that is just as relevant today as it was 38 years ago…a song that will always be relevant unless things change. This song has become the unofficial Aussie anthem… a song that is known by everyone, a song whose lyrics are sung out loud and proud every single time it is heard. ❤ No matter how many hits John had before, this song is his legacy. ❤ As a point….check out the Firefight Australia concert from 2020.. he was 71 at that time and still killed it!!!
Love Johnnn.y
The crowded masses got they money’s worth.
22:30 Brett Garsed's guitar solo - worth the price of admission. Loved it then love it now!
This is truly fantastic. Wonder why SONY/BMG didn’t release this instead ? Probably lost the original tapes I would say.
Probably copyright issues maybe ?
This video will be removed by Fully Farnham if it is ever commercially released.
Apparently a few songs had copyright issues where the writers or publishers won’t let them release on DVD….. including one owned by band members that were IN the show
Fantastic album
hearing this sounds like some is on the Full House album. Thanks for the upload
Holy moly that guitarist!!! 🏆🎉
For the record, the edited concert aired on Channel Ten:
th-cam.com/video/m795g0gge4k/w-d-xo.html
great concert.
John Farnham has an amazing voice but how come he hasn't cracked the U.S. market? Another great Australian voice is Russell Hitchcock from Air Supply, they cracked the U.S. market on their first go.
Sure he could but I question whether he feels as though he has to. He has seemed very happy with success he has had.
I heard when he did the audience with john Farnham I think that he came back to auzzie land coz he couldn't get a record Deal in the states.
Khoa Le if he cracked the USA market imagine all the concerts here in Aus he would never have had the time to do. Let’s just keep him here at *home*. We all love him too much here 😊
He had the American experience with Little River Band. I can't imagine John being our John if he had stayed in America. To be successful their I think you need to live there or (and) tour there 80% of your career.
Ex I totally agree with you. Your reply to Koha came into my email. Thank goodness he did come home 😊
